Holland, 1945CGThe only girl I've ever lovedCGWas born with roses in her eyesCGBut then they buried her alive DOne evening 1945CDGWith just her sister at her side DCAnd only weeks before the guns DGAll came and rained on everyone DCNow she's a little boy in Spain DGPlaying pianos filled with flamesDCOn empty rings around the sunDCAll sing to say my dream has comeCGBut now we must pick up every pieceCGOf the life we used to love CGJust to keep ourselvesCDAt least enough to carry onCGAnd now we ride the circus wheelCGWith your dark brother wrapped in whiteCGSays it was good to be aliveDBut now he rides a comet's flame CDGAnd won't be coming back againGDCThe Earth looks better from a starDGThat's right above from where you are DCHe didn't mean to make you cry DGWith sparks that ring and bullets fly DCOn empty rings around your heartDCThe world just screams and falls apart CGBut now we must pick up every pieceCGOf the life we used to loveCJust to keep ourselvesGDAt least enough to carry onGCGAnd here's where your mother sleepsGCGDAnd here is the room where your brothers were bornGCGIndentions in the sheets GCGDWhere their bodies once moved but don't move anymoreCGCGAnd it's so sad to see the world agree GCDThat they'd rather see their faces fill with fliesGCDGAll when I'd want to keep white roses in their eyes
